RESEARCH ON THE FARM

I in war produc*

; These diem*
i ists and engi*
i neers are on the
hunt for new
Kves materials and
y processes. They
are planning new things to make,
for better living after the war has
been won.
Agriculture, too. has its research
activity — usually in the Federal
and State Departments and in the
agricultural schools and colleges.
Looking ahead to the more pros-
perous agriculture that is going to
come after present world-wide
troubles have been cured, why can’t
the individual farm do a little share
of this research work, to its own
great benefit?
We don’t mean build laboratories
and hire scientists. That is only the
laboratory part of research. There
Is something beside that. It is
learning to grow some of the crops
that will be important in our new
future *.
For example, a good many far-
mers have learned that soy-beans
»nd peaguts are much more valu-
able and important crops than they
were once considered. For they
supply some of the vegetable oils we
formerly imported from tropical
lands. Would they grow on your
farm, and be profitable crops for
you to raise?
There is one way to find out—try
it. Your test plot may be just a lit-
tle corner of the garden, tended at
odd times. Yet it may show you the
way to future success.
Once we knew a farmer who had
a terrific time getting rid of wild
mustard. In spite of everything he
did. the wild mustard came up,
year after year. He thought it over
and finally said to himself, "All
right—my farm seems to be espe-
cially suited to growing mustard.
I’ll just grow mustard.”
And now he makes many times
more money selling mustard seed
than he ever made with the tradi-
tionally popular crops of his area?
Another possibility. We know
that for a long time to come, we
are not going to get rubber from
the East Indies. Perhaps we can’t
grow rubber trees in our country,
but there are other plants that pro-
duce rubber. We may have to de-
pend upon some of them. Who
knows — perhaps some of them
could be grown on your farm?
If you want to start a home ex-
periment station, and do your part
in agricultural research, here is a
suggestion.
Write to your State Agricultural
Department, or to the Federal De-
partment at Washington. Make this
one simple request: “Tell me about
NEW crops that might be raised in
my locality, so that I can try some
of them."
That will permit you to become
familiar with some of the impor-
tant experimental work that is al-
ready being done.
Or, discuss the matter with your
own County Agent. He will help you
get information on the subject, to
serve as a basis for your own ex-
periments.
You may find that your own
“mustard crop” of nuisance weeds
will some day turn into a brand
new source of cash income, and be-
come an important contribution to
an expanding agriculture, a .,

which we BOW ere confronted is
that religion to oomitag back into
its own—er tether, more
ately, because religion has never
been away: men are coming back
to religion.
They are returing to the faith
of their fathers and mothers and
are singing the hymns they knew
in childhood: “On Jordan’s
stormy banks I stand’’; and “It’s
the old-time religion’’ and “On-
ward, Christian soldiers, marching
as to war, with the cross of Jesus
going on before.’’
This is true because Christian-
ity speaks to the hearts of men.
It consoles troubled mindsand
wounded spirits.
And even in the darkest hour
of individual loss and personal
grief, it offers «» unshakeable
hope through all eteniity. Fordo
we not have the promise, “lain
with you always—even unto the
end of the world?’’
And so in the fierce fires of
war, there is being burned away
the dross of selfishness and ma-
terialism, leaving the pure gold of
patriotism, service to
devotion to God.

There’s a lot of truth in the
old saying that you never miss the
biscuits ’till the flour’s all gone.
I fooled around not thinking
what it would mean to be with-
out a Cadillac until they froze bi-
cycles. Opportunity knocked
my door, but I thought it
some pesky bill collector
didn’t answer.
Many people are like that. They
don't bother about youth slipping
away until they learn how hard
it is to bite corn off the cob
with shop made molars. When the
jug of molasses is running over
we wallow in abundance never
taking account of the possibility
of cows breaking into the field
and destroying the cane patch.
How many of us considered it
a sweet privilege to chunk three
spoons of sugar in a cup of cof-
fee before we had to go and
give our height in our sock feet,
and the color of our eyeballs to
buy half a pound? How many
sang happily in their Saturday
night bath until it was decreed
that no more bath-room fixtures
should be sold ?
We just don’t appreciate good
health, good eats or good friends
’till we lose them. The first
time ‘I ever realized what an ad-
vantage there was in borrowing
was when a kind neighbor, moved
away and rented his place to an
old grouch who was always out of
